As I hope you already know I have been working on translating articles into Japanese. I have noticed that I can translate a lot of these articles into Japanese. I have the vocabulary, what I don't know I can look up, but my grammar isn't there. Is this a project that I should be pursuing if my grammar isn't 100%? I feel like even if I wasn't on completely, I could still save whoever comes (maybe no one) after me. If I had the articles mostly translated they'll have to fix parts of an article rather than translating and writing entire articles. Before I continue on with anything else I wanted to see what my fellow bsg wikipedians think. please respond on my talk page [[User Talk:Zarek Rocks]], I'll be posting this there as well. Thank you all for your advice, it's really appreciated. | As I hope you already know I have been working on translating articles into Japanese.

:I vote go for it. It seems like half the battle in getting an article done is getting it started. Once the initial hurdle is cleared and the article is named correctly, categorized, and linked to, everything seems to take off from there.

As I hope you already know I have been working on translating articles into Japanese. I have noticed that I can translate a lot of these articles into Japanese. I have the vocabulary, what I don't know I can look up, but my grammar isn't there. Is this a project that I should be pursuing if my grammar isn't 100%? I feel like even if I wasn't on completely, I could still save whoever comes (maybe no one) after me. If I had the articles mostly translated they'll have to fix parts of an article rather than translating and writing entire articles. Before I continue on with anything else I wanted to see what my fellow bsg wikipedians think. please respond on my talk page User Talk:Zarek Rocks, I'll be posting this there as well.

- I vote go for it. It seems like half the battle in getting an article done is getting it started. Once the initial hurdle is cleared and the article is named correctly, categorized, and linked to, everything seems to take off from there. My 2 cubits anyway...--Steelviper 21:44, 6 February 2006 (EST)
